Anyone else REALLY like leatherbound books?

Alright, so I thought I would share my latest obsession... books with rich leatherbound covers.
Journals.. Bibles.. Christian books. I love them. I love how they look. How they feel. I use the fact that I really like the look and feel of a book to coerce me into buying it. (Which I suppose isn't TERRIBLE when I'm buying books about faith..)

I like old feeling things. : ] What about you guys?

Yeah I like books in general, honestly I understand why people like it but I can't see myself getting a kindle anytime soon.

Yeah it does haha
I got a Kindle and thought it was great, but now I'm back to buying regular books. I gave up instant gratification to have physical objects.
